I got the Medium P1 beef pho and it was the best I ever had. the previous pho bo's I've had had a weird aftertaste I came to associate with it, but with this, it had a natural meaty sweetness and everything wasn't overpowering at all. they were quick with my to go order and were super nice about everything. 10/10 would go to if I was in the area again ]
Today's foray to Broken Arrow took me to Pho 71 on Elm. Don't know if it was the cooler temps or what, but I was in the mood for something hot and soupy. TLDR: Good pho, nice people, priced right. Located in a strip mall along with several other eateries, Pho 71 is small, cozy and homey. I arrived around noon and was seated immediately. I'd kinda checked out the menu, so I pretty much had my mind made up, which helped speed the process a bit. I went with the medium pho with brisket and meatballs, and a order of 2 fried seafood spring rolls. In looking at the menu online, I only got to see the pho portion. There's a whole 'nother page with noodle and fried rice dishes, and a lot of them looked really appetizing.... so those are for another trip. My food arrived pretty quickly, and after giving it a minute to cool down while I tore up the basil and cilantro, I plowed into it. The broth is subtle and layered. Not at all perfumey like some places tend to be. There were plenty of noodles in the bowl, along with generous amounts of meat. They didn't skimp on the Thai Basil either. I love the stuff, but there was too much even for me. Bean sprouts, cilantro and a single slice of jalapeno was also presented. Personally, I would have liked to see a few more pepper slices and some sweet onion slices like my local Pho joint does, but it in no way detracted from the dish. The spring rolls were properly done, with generous amounts of seafood inside, and cooked to a perfect golden brown. I'm glad I went with the medium instead of a large, because I don't think I could have eaten a large, and that's saying a lot. Price was just over $19 before a tip, and for what I got, I consider that pretty reasonable.
Awesome food! A lot of meats and great variety in a medium pho (I ordered P1). Tastes good and authentic too
This is the best Pho I’ve tried in Tulsa! Got the chicken Pho and the spring rolls. I let them know about my seafood allergy and feel really good. Pho 71 Vietnamese restaurant is deliciousyum! Also my friends 4 year old daughter ate a “leaf” for the first time (the basil) and didn’t like it, but then tasted it in the Pho and loved it! She said, “Yum! I can’t believe I ate a leaf! I like the soup it takes like soup! With noodles!” Five stars!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another option for average Vietnamese food in BA This is a very small and busy restaurant located in a strip mall at the corner of Kenosha and Elm. I have to admit that Vietnamese food is not my favorite. I struggle with the taste of the fish sauce and can’t figure out what is so exciting about a bowl of Pho. I have tried to focus on one dish Bun Bo Hue in order to have some basis for comparison between Vietnamese restaurants. My wife likes the vermicelli bowls and the fish sauce. She has a good foundation for her comparison of this particular dish. Let’s start with the appetizers “Spring Rolls with Grilled Pork.” Our order was delivered to the diner siting at the table next to us. After a few minutes and after the diner had taken a couple of bites of one of them, the waitress realized she had served the wrong table. She delivered his order of tofu spring rolls and took the partially eaten and full pork spring roll back to the kitchen. A few minutes later she brought out our order of pork spring rolls. Only God and the Kitchen staff know what really happened in the kitchen. We they were still good. My wife liked her Bun Tom Nuong Cha Gio. This was a vermicelli noodles, vegetables, grilled shrimp and spring rolls, and of course the fish sauce. The grilled shrimp was really good! Today’s special just happened to be Bun Bo Hue. Their version was nothing more than a noodle and beef brisket soup with chili sauce added. The only meat in it was the beef brisket. The soup was just not what you expect to get with Bun Bo Hue. It did have some of the classic vegetables on the side (basil, cilantro, a couple of jalapeno slices, and a slice of lime and bean sprouts.) It tasted Ok, but was a boring bowl of soup. No complex flavors from lemon grass and other seasonings. Average food, average service, clean, very busy at noon, does a lot of takeout business.
Best AUTHENTIC Chicken Pho around. Thick slices of chicken breast, never dry! The beef pho is excellent, super clean broths, not overly salty. Fried dumplings are so good, not greasy at all. The restaurant is always super clean. The Vietnamese Iced are 100 percent authentic. My favorite pho restaurant in the Tulsa area.
What the Pho! In Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, so far I have found Pho 71 to have the most flavorful and balanced broth of Pho, so far … it has the flavors and balance like it supposed to have! The noddle is the right size, just because so much of it, it was undercooked. The briskets plenty, however I want the soft and fatty briskets…NOT at Pho 71 and not any where in Oklahoma, so far! The place was about full, tight… just a serious noddle eating house. Will be back for sure!
